U can try a trickle charge. Connect your tablet to a PC using the usb cable and leave it in there. It may take a while but if the battery can be saved this method should work. Remember leaving the tablet on at night until it completely drains is not good thing and will shorten your battery life.

One of the ways is limiting the phone services.Here is how you can do it: To get started, you`ll need to install File Expert on your tablet; it`s available for free from Android Market.
Run File Expert, making sure to allow Superuser access.
Tap Menu, Settings, File Explorer Settings, and enable Root Explorer.
Navigate to the /data/data folder (see above), then locate com.android.phone.
Tap and hold on com.android.phone, then choose File Operations, Delete.
Navigate back to the top-level directory (/), then go to system/app.
Tap the tablet`s Menu button, then choose Mount, Mount as Read Write.
Scroll down until you find Phone.apk, tap and hold it, then choose File Operations, Delete.Power off your tablet, then restart it.
Here`s another instructional tips:1. GPS:Turn It Off
There are three types of GPS systems, and two of them use batteries.
The first type is a supplied application from the tablet or smartphone’s vendor or the telephone company that supports it. This application uses Location-Based Software (LBS) to determine where you are based on cell-tower triangulating and other methods. It gives you a map, without using the all-important GPS chipset that’s built into many devices. It’s the GPS chipset that uses power, and sometimes uproariously.
Where LBS uses power only for the duration you’re using the application it’s based on, GPS chipset-enabled applications can call on the chipset to ask where you are. The chipset is turned on all of the time, often because you set it to do this.
If you only use GPS once in a while, and want to save as much as 10% of battery life, turn off the GPS in your device, and turn it on only for use. There’s no harm, just a few swipes to do so.2. Wi-Fi: It Drains Power
You may have a cell service, but you may also keep Wi-Fi on all of the time, so that you can save your cell service cost. Turn it off when not in use. It still uses a little power even when it’s not doing anything.
3. Games: They Work While You Sleep
Many games have ad services that turn on your wireless connectivity (or use it if it’s already on) to serve you ads, and to spy on you.
Save your game when you’re not using it, and don’t put the game into background. Check once in a while to see what’s running. Save out the games, and use them on demand so that they don’t check with their masters to see which new ad you need or to report on your location.
4. Skype: Shut Off the Phone
Skype is a wonderful app. It is used a lot in Android phones and an iOS version is available.
Skype phones home once in a while and uses up a tiny bit of power, waiting desperately for your next call or chat session to be made. Some versions of Android boot it up as a starting program; you can change this by tapping Settings>Applications>Running Applications then kill it, then remove it the next time used from a startup menu. (Amusingly, it’s another way that Microsoft, the new owner of Skype, makes money from iOS and Android users.)
5. Silence Your Friends and Calm Your Social NetworkAndroid uses a service called FriendFeed. But your other online social media apps may be phoning home to find new and important information about your friends. When it goes for updates, it’s using the phone’s data connectivity. This uses the battery as it connects, gets updates (if there are updates at all), then reports them to you. Your phone is unlikely to even show that it’s in use while it’s doing this.
If you simply must have it on, remember that the more frequently your application updates, the more it uses battery. It’s a small amount of power used per transaction, but frequent updates can use much more battery.6. Weather and News Widgets
You love them as your wallpaper: time, news, weather, sports updates. Each widget gets its information from external data sources, and when they do, they use a little bit of power to “phone home” and get their resources. (You see a theme here?)
Some of them might also update another service and report about where you are or other information that you forgot to learn about when you signed up for their (often free) service. Maybe they’re also downloading new ads to display for you.
Limit the number of these, and where possible, modify the application to cut down the frequency of updates that they get. Fewer updates mean less battery power used.7. Turn It Down
Or use more efficient headphones. Headphone use, especially if you use noise-cancelling or inefficient (often cheap) headphones, ear buds, or even a connection to your car’s stereo system, uses battery power.
Your mother probably told you to do this for other reasons, and those reasons are still valid: Your hearing deteriorates more quickly when the volume’s up, and so does your battery.8. Leave Your Phone Accessible
This one’s more onerous. If you’re in the habit of putting your phone into a desk or some place where the signal is dubious or weak, your phone may try to keep connecting if it loses a connection with a cell and can find no other cell. It will keep transmitting, and transmitting takes much more power than simply receiving.
Remember that radio receivers use only comparatively tiny fractions of power, but transmitting uses a lot of power. If you put a phone on the floor of your car, in your glove box, or some place that shields the phone, your phone will try to connect to a cell tower, and in doing so, use up a battery much more quickly. Use prudence to keep the phone as exposed as circumstances permit so that it’s not constantly trying to re-connect.9. Unplug the USB (if it’s not the charge cable)
If your phone charges via USB, forget this one. Some don’t, and USB connectivity has a small battery cost when not charged through USB wires; this affects certain Android devices, usually tablets, only. The discharge is comparatively small, but can shorten the battery charge life by 10% or more.10. Don’t Leave Your Device in Camera Mode
This goes double if the camera has a flash device, which uses a small amount of charge to “flash” the bright LED camera flash that’s used for taking pictures. Even if the device goes into sleep mode, the camera electronics are likely using a small bit of power to be absolutely ready right-this-moment if you want to take a picture coming out of sleep mode. When not in sleep mode, the camera bits can take bit of power, especially video mode. It’s not a lot of power, but these items all add up.
Overall, buying apps, rather than using free apps, uses less power. The reason for this is that free apps usually must download fresh apps to serve you, and these apps also often rat out your location and other bits of information about you that you’d probably rather keep private anyway. The amount of battery power used to serve free-app ads is rather small, but not insignificant over the life of your use of the device. If you buy them, you’re paying a significant amount of money for them, and the trade-offs may or may not be worth it to you. Be wary of the price of convenience.
If you can indeed change your batteries, and some devices don’t let you do this (think Apple iOS-based devices), look for spares via your local retailer, and eBay. Occasionally you can find them on sites like DailySteals, SlickDeals, Woot, Amazon, and the usual list of Internet retailers. Remember to look for your exact model replacement battery. Others likely won’t fit. Then keep them topped off—so that you don’t have to constantly recharge them.

Try to replace your battery so that you will know if the battery is still working or defective. Maybe its the battery that is defective not the charger. If its still under warranty you can just have it replaced by the store you bought it from. Or maybe the socket where you plug the charger is broken thats why it will not charge.

My insignia 8 tablet turns on, but keeps asking for my password. I`ve never sett a password. How do I solve this?\?

My Insignia 8 tablet turns on, but won`t allow me to open any of my programs without entering a password. I don`t recall ever creating a password and I`ve never had this problem in the two years I`ve had this tablet.
